I found that the mysql connection parameters were in single quote - in the file: application/configs/application.iniJust used double quotes there and all the dramas went off.

The values should be either not-be quoted at all, or be in double quotes.

This issue is solved for me at the moment.But the ZendFramework related other forums do have a still discussion of the PHP Version Requirements.In my case, it is solved with MYSQLI and double quoted values in application.ini
